Childcare volunteers play a vital role in enabling families to access support and services offered by Amara. Childcare volunteers provide childcare to children while their parents and/or foster parents attend and engage in workshops, support groups, and other events.
Volunteers ensure children are safe and having fun. From coloring to Netflix to playing on our playground, volunteers make the fun happen!
